<p>[QUOTE=&quot;illini420, post: 667978, member: 19423&quot;]Here&#039;s a link to NCS regarding conservation:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.ncscoin.com/conservation/index.asp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ncscoin.com/conservation/index.asp" rel="nofollow">http://www.ncscoin.com/conservation/index.asp</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>yeah, coop is pretty much right, the difference between cleaning and conservation is largely who does it... conservation is in short, professional cleaning done in a way that does not damage a coin to a point where it becomes ungradable.&nbsp; Obviously there are differing opinions as to how much a coin can be conserved before it is called cleaning.&nbsp;&nbsp; Like the 1857 cent I posted above, when viewed in hand, I&#039;d estimate that 75% of folks told me that it looked like NCS did a great job conserving the coin and the other 25% just said it looked ok, but cleaned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
